Dobos Torte

This easy recipe obviously isn't a 'real' Dobos Torte, so relax and have fun with it. It's a quick and easy dessert everyone will love. You have a choice with this recipe - make two cakes to serve a crowd, or make one cake and have some fudge.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 frozen pound cakes, thawed
  • 12 ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Preparation:

OPTION 1: Thaw pound cakes. Remove from foil pans, place on sides, and, cutting horizontally through the whole loaf, slice first in half, then slice those pieces in half again to make four layers.

In medium bowl, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk and microwave on medium for 2-3 minutes, stirring twice during cooking time, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. With half of the mixture, frost one cake: spread about 1/4 cup on the bottom layer of the pound cake, place another cake layer on the frosting, and repeat layers. Use toothpicks to keep the layers stable as you work.

Then frost the top and sides of the reassembled cake. If the frosting thickens, microwave on low for 15-20 seconds until spreadable. Repeat with second pound cake and the rest of the chocolate mixture. Refrigerate until the frosting is set, then slice and serve.

OPTION 2: Use only one pound cake. Prepare chocolate mixture as directed. Measure out 1-1/3 cups of the chocolate mixture and set aside. Pour remaining chocolate mixture onto a small greased plate and set aside (that's the fudge). Frost the cake using the 1-1/3 cups reserved mixture, reassembling the layers as directed above, using toothpicks to keep the structure stable. Refrigerate until firm, then slice thinly and serve.
